[android-developers] Re: Debbugging USB peripheral with Emulator

Why do you feel developing on the real hardware is any slower?

I think it will be hard to attach the ADK to an emulator.
-In the ADK it is the device you attach that fulfils the usb-host role so your PC would need to act like a usb device and this is usually not possible
-The emulator is based on qemu and qemu itself  and has support for usb host  see:emulator -qemu -h but the shipped kernel is not compiled with usb support.

If the device also does serial or hid is might be easy but I think you need to at least recompile the emulator kernel I did not check on recent releases (e.g. after the ADK release)

What do you want to debug by the way?

Greetings
